Overview - Long John Silver, Jefferson Airplane’s seventh effort, is an album that truly relied on Jorma Kaukonen, if he was not on this album, it would’ve been miles worse than what it was. Although the album really isn’t that good by any means, I’d say just average at …

As one of the earliest songs from Circa Survive, “Handshakes at Sunrise” remains one of my favorites, if only for its sentimental value. Displaying a sound that would become standard for the band, you get a feel for where they started, and how the sound of their early music …

What a meaningful song. A song about doing anything for the person you love. “Yes I would die for you baby, I would catch a grenade for you.” This is a great song, awesome melody, catchy and just a great lesson to top all that off. Bruno Mars really …

When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

When Taylor Swift’s newest single, “Love Story,” hit the radio waves in 2008, I was in Georgia, driving around lost. An impromptu road trip with a friend from the battle scars of a recent heartbreak. Being an English major in college and being naturally critical of Shakespeare’s …

I haven’t liked much by Chuck Wicks, but this is one of my favorite songs. Songs about fathers always get to me since I lost mine when I was a young teenager. I will never get the chance to experience moments like these with my father, so this song …

The reason I know Brad Maule is from his role on the daytime soap opera, General Hospital, where he played Doctor Tony Jones. As a result of that role, I met him a couple of times at events and thought he was a nice guy. He sang …

I watched Making the Band on MTV once or twice, simply because I like entertainment and like to see what the new singing groups are going to come up with next. When I saw Day 26 on the program I was so disappointed. I have …

There is barely anything I can say about this album that hasn’t been said by critics over the past 10 years or so. Released in September 2004, The beautiful thing about this album is that this was something I didn’t necessarily enjoy on first listen but for me I …

One of my favourite music groups when I was younger was an international reggae band called “Third WOrld”. I find myself very priveliged to have actually be able to see them live then, and meet them after a performance, and they were one of the reasons why I decided …

The Osmond Family: The All-Time Greatest Hits of the Osmond Family is presented as a book. It’s about six inches wide by ten inches tall. It’s hardcover, in fact. When you open it, two CDs are affixed to the interior . The problem for me …

To be completely and totally honest I am not a huge, die-hard country fan. I am the type of person who likes a mixture of music. That being said several years ago I was in walmart when I saw Toby Keith’s album “How DoYou Like Me Now”. If memory …

This album is the complete opposite of the previous „Wish you Were Here”. When I first listened to it, I was shocked by the huge leap the band made from that album. If WYWH was about emotions, intimacy, and empathy, „Animals” is a strikingly bleak and politic statement, in …

One More Cup Of Coffee is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Desire. The song opens up with a simple acoustic guitar strumming pattern accompanied by a brief bass fill before a violin comes in which stays constant throughout the majority of this song. Thus …

Graduation overall sounds very laid back. It’s a bit more relaxed, than what you might be used to but it’s defiantly an album that you are going to want to buy if you love Kanye.
This is a solid and enjoyable collection. There are no skits or fillers that make …

Stupid Girl is a track by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Aftermath. Stupid Girl opens up with a quick drum part before developing a very light-hearted rhythm which stays pretty much constant throughout the song, or at least some variation of it. I’ve read a few …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce
Label: Columbia

Beyonce ditches the black and white cinematography formula for color once again ( as she did for “Halo”). I’m not sure if a dream with Beyonce would be a nightmare or a sweet dream, it depends - If it …

I think this is a good video for anybody to watch. It has a great calming feel to it and I think it could be watched many times. I kind of do that myself. I love repeating the video over and over and over again, but I never get …

Overview —“ Wherever I May Roam, a third music video released for The Black Album, along with Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters, focuses on a live setting which fits extremely well with the song in my opinion. The song is all about the life of touring and not …

I thought The Bird and the Bee managed to make a great sequel to their first album! Inara’s voice is absolutely beautiful and subtle. There is a great variation of sounds, and yet you can always tell that each is a Bird and Bee creation. Many of the songs …

Overview - Reload, the second half of Metallica’s double album, continues with the style change Metallica introduced on Load but doesn’t really expand or develop it. Generally the album feels basically the same as Load felt for me: some of the songs were brilliant, some were solid, and some …

“Hell Chose Me” is the 3rd outing from death metal/hardcore band Carnifex. Let me start off this review by saying this completely sounds like a new, completely unrelated band. The progession from their second album “The Diseased and The Poisoned” is so noticeable with this album, that the two …

The song Forty Acres by Red Sovine makes me think of something I would sing. I can definitely relate to this song when I was learning how to drive a five ton truck and deuce n half for the National Guard. When I first learned how to drive a …

Lulu is a collaboration between Metallica and Lou Reed. An odd collaboration to say the least, the lyrics to Lulu are based on a play, but the track listing oddly doesn’t follow the story in any chronological order which makes me feel as if this isn’t a concept album. …

Oh Gin is a demo by The Velvet Underground which appears on the second disc of their album Loaded. The song starts off with a fairly paced tempo that has a steady rhythm for Reed to come in with the vocals of the track. The lyrics of the song …

I grew up in a house full of music. My father is a Grammy-award winner. We were raised on good music. I believe one of the pioneers of music today is definitely the band Bon Iver, led by Justin Vernon. I’ve seen a lot of great indie concerts over …
